    WOLFMAN - nothing to howl about. (Based on advance press preview on Wed. Feb. 10, 2010)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    WOLFMAN is a disjointed badly edited albeit high-quality production that was approximately 1hr 45mins in length - and not 2hr 5min as incorrectly posted by Fandango. Other than the few 'action' scenes - it was plain outright BORING. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the man-to-werewolf transformations and I have to give high marks for make-up and costumes. Oh - and by the way, don't expect a plot - there is NONE. The majority of the audience was laughing at the cheesy howling. The lack of chemistry between Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro was glaringly apparent. Anthony Hopkins was sinister as Lord Talbot but Hugo Weaving was unconvincing as a Scotland Yard inspector. Benicio Del Toro had wayyy too much screen-time - with much ado about nothing.

    VERDICT:
    This putrid re-imagining of the lycanthrope is a dismal cinematic failure that lacks bite while relying on cliched 'sound' effects to conjure up scares.
    Aim your silver bullet at this one and pass.
    Grade: C

    If you are a fan of the original...

    I am a fan of the old Universal horror movies so I waited with great anticipation for this version. There has been much criticism that the movie is predictable. To those people I say so was the Titanic. We all knew the ship sinks in the end. There have been countless retellings of The Wolfman but none remaining this true to the original. I was ecstatic to finally see a film paying homage to the original. The acting is well done, the scenery and mood are dead on. The film takes advantage of today's effects while holding tightly to its origins. The Wolfman is awesome in appearance. Finally someone has done it right as Talbot's alter ego is just a bit more man than Wolf and is an excellent upgrade to Lon Chaney, Jr's. Transitions are top-knotch. One slight critique - attacks are so fast and savage that you sometimes do not have time to feel the anxiety build before the deed is done. But that is the nature of the beast.
    Rating - My wife left 4 1/2 fingerprints out of five on my arm.

    first of all, this movie is gorgeous to look at. i mean, except for the entrails and whatnot- but what do you expect? it's a werewolf movie. and while there is gore, it is NOT over the top, which really turns me off about horror movies nowadays. mostly the new ones are just gore for the sake of gore. but this was wonderful. i have never seen the original with Lon Cheney (sacrilege, i know) although i'd like to... surprising since i am a big fan of classic horror movies... and even if i can't tell you how faithful this was to the original, i can say this movie is very reminiscent of the "classic horror" genre. i really enjoyed that about it.
    Benicio Del Toro is heartbreaking in the lead role, Anthony Hopkins is spellbinding as usual (i actually managed not to think of Hannibal Lecter every 15 mins), Hugo Weaving was excellent (also nigh unrecognizable w/ the old-timey facial hair), & Emily Blunt's performance was intricate and lovely. really liked Art Malik too. i say go see it!
